BackerKit Survey reminder
almost 4 years ago – Fri, Jul 24, 2020 at 06:43:11 AM

I'm very happy to announce that 93% of you have completed the BackerKit survey! Unfortunately that also means that 7% of you, which is to say 124 of you, have not. I have sent out a BackerKit email reminder, but I am also making an update about it here because it is VERY IMPORTANT that you complete your survey! I want to make sure that no one misses the survey because their email has changed, or BackerKit is getting filtered out, or whatever.

Reasons you need to complete your BackerKit survey:

1) To get your name credited in the book.

2) To get your physical reward!

3) To purchase add-ons such as additional copies of the printed book.

If you aren't sure whether or not you completed your survey, or if you did but need to change something, you can always go to https://beamsaber.backerkit.com to enter or modify survey information.

Got Sasha Reneau's first pass on the layout for the Technician playbook and it's looking pretty darn good! The various sections are all form fillable, I just turned off the highlighting for the screenshot.

Vincent has completed work on the Scalpel, Opossum, and Tin Orbit.

He's also sent me the initial sketches for the Bulkhead, Jousting Boar Inn & Pub, and the Shotel.

The stats for all of these are in the Example Vehicles section of the rulebook if you want to see how they might play!

Vincent's also continuing his work on the Opossum, Scalpel, and Tin Orbit!

BackerKit Surveys SENT
almost 4 years ago – Sun, Jun 14, 2020 at 08:23:40 PM

I've gotten a sufficient number of issue free responses from the BackerKit Smoke Test to be permitted to send out the full BackerKit survey! After I post this update I will be sending them out.

Soon, you’ll receive an email with a special link to your  BackerKit survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since I need this information to fulfill your rewards.

You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your  survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey  link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences,  provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email!

After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change  your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final  counts.

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can  return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or  requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit  project page at https://beamsaber.backerkit.com/

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter  account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for  your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer  to use, please contact support at https://beamsaber.backerkit.com/faq.

Once these surveys are in I can start adding the Kickstarter Backers to the rules. Please note that even wit the surveys in the final product is still months away. All the wonderful art, layout, editing, writing, and consultation still needs to be completed (not to mention the printing, proofing and shipping).
